Dungeon of the Fire Opal, Part VI

[HeavyG]

I'll update tomorrow to let Ubaar and Sollir post their actions.

 

[reapersaurus]

OOC: thanks for waiting, Heavy

Ubaar resists the temptation to Bull Rush the new boneys or try to bar the doors shut on them, and instead chooses to form up with Kytess to provide a unified front against the 2 new opponents.

The tallest member of the party who is dwarfed still by the boney horrors brandishes his faith-empowered weapon, and awaits the inevitable advance with hands tightening around the hilt...

OOC: Ubaar will move to N11 next to Kytess and delay his attack till the boneys get close enough to lay into them. Heavy : is there any blunt club-like weapon close enough for Ubaar to grab and use in the place of the slashing greatsword? Could Ubaar pick up a limb of the skeleton he just felled and use that as a greatclub against them?

Yes, but this would be an improvised greatclub : -4 to hit.

OOC: Rules nitpick : That's a ready action, not a delay.

The non-iconics vs the bone creatures - Round 4

Seeing Jalon getting pretty savagely beat up, Sollir quickly draws his wand and taps him with it, before starting to back off before the boney monster. Jalon’s wounds heal nearly completely. (8 points healing)

Then, Murhid’s enemy continues attacking him from it’s position kneeling on the ground. The monk dodges the stinger once again, but a claw scratches him along the arm, a wound that hurts a lot but isn’t very deep. (3 points damage)

Kytess' face is calm, almost serene, as she continues to attack the creature, swinging her chain ever harder.

As the warrior is striking, the debris underfoot shifts slightly, messing her balance. The chain strikes the doorway and hits the skeleton so lightly it doesn’t inflict any damage. (A miss)

At the same time, another monster gets out of its cell and is charging Ubaar. Its stinger hits the barbarian in the side, just as he starts moving towards Kytess. (11 points of damage)

Taz will look around for a suitable bone to use as a club, as big as she can handle and move there and pick it up. She'll use tumble to get there and also use her shield to her best protection (especially for her new position, whereever that may be).

She tumbles back about 12 feet, using piles of bones as cover from the monster’s lashing tail, then picks up a large, rune-encrusted bone from the ground. This one will do. (It’s still an improvised club, though.)

Ubaar resists the temptation to Bull Rush the new boneys or try to bar the doors shut on them, and instead chooses to form up with Kytess to provide a unified front against the 2 new opponents.

The tallest member of the party who is dwarfed still by the boney horrors brandishes his faith-empowered weapon, and awaits the inevitable advance with hands tightening around the hilt...

Wincing at the pain, the barbarian rejoins Kytess.

In retribution for the grevious wounds he's recieved, Jalon lashes out at the nearest creature with a mighty double-handed blow of his longsword.

The sword blow lands well and is powerful. It smashes a couple of ribs and lands in the creature’s spine, cutting a deep gash into it. Then, the priest pulls back his sword for a second blow. (5 damage)

Murhid goes for another assault on the crumbling skeleton.

With a combination of powerful kick attacks, Murhid breaks the skeleton’s other leg and then sends it crashing backwards in the cell. It stops moving. (5 points damage)

Meanwhile, the skeleton in the cell behind Kytess jumps out and is greeted by Ubaar’s greatsword it smashes into the creature’s chest and many ribs fly down. Then, the creature turns towards the barbarian and tries to sting him, but the half-orc dodges the unbalanced blow. (8 points damage)

Also, Jalon’s opponent is trying its best to put him to an early grave. Fortunately, its stinger and claws miss the priest or scrape along his banded armor.

The elf slashes repeatedly at the boney creature, trying to lop off it's head. A maniacal grin spreads slowly across the barbarian's heavily-scarred face.

The elf is a whirlwind of destruction. He strikes the skeleton monster who mauled Jalon with both blades, knocking aside it’s pitiful defense and smashing into its chest. The thing is starting to slow down from the multiple wounds. (6 and 2 points of damage, respectively)

Kytess attacks the skeletal beings again.

 

[Taz]

“Aaaayyyyiiiieeeehhhh!!!!”

Taz charges the closest bone-thing (#2) with her newfound weapon, flanking with Jalon (too bad it probably won't suffer from her sneak attack).

 

[Taz]

OOC: Taz still has her shield spell running, it's not listed...

 

[HeavyG]

OOC: Taz still has her shield spell running, it's not listed...

Now it is.

 

[Sollir Furryfoot]

Sollir sighs as he takes a 5 ft. step back and unleashes two arrows upon the boney creature, "Hrm, perhaps I should stick to healing..."

(2 normal arrows)
